The build quality is great. The sound is perfect. I am very pleased with the sound and look, the wife loves the trim less design. The best part is the price, very affordable that doesn’t break the bank!Yes I know they are no HiFi speakers, but for my use very worth it.I highly recommend them!!

I got the speakers so that I can replace the tool Vizio speakers that came with my surround sound system from Costco. Not a whole lot of information out there if these would be great replacements, but they did the trick! The sound is good, and it connected to my surround-sound perfectly. Would buy again!

I have an old 5.1 surround system with small speakers and a sub. The receiver died some time ago so I replaced it recently with a 7 channel receiver for a 5.1.2 setup and was looking for a small pair of speakers to install in my acoustic tile ceiling. It is a low budget system but now I can enjoy Dolby Atmos movies and music better.

We recently had a new home built and at the advice of my builder I decided to pre-wire it for home audio before the drywall went up. I consulted with a couple of retail outfits and got quotes from both. I was really taken back at what it would have cost to go with the systems they quoted, so OK, regroup. I ran across OSD on Amazon and they had good reviews so I planned out my system and pulled the trigger. MAN am I glad I went this route! I was really only looking for quality sound at low volume throughout the house and on the patio. I wound up with MUCH better sound than I was expecting Here is what I went with: 8" OSD cieling mount pairs in living rm, dining rm, kitchen, master bed rm and patio. 6" OSD cieling mount in master and guest bath. OSD volume controls on each pair respectivly, probably could have gotten away with gouping kitchen, LR and DR on one control but what the heck right? I am driving all of these speakers with Dennon DRA-800H and added a Polk 10" sub to the system. This is a two chanel system for stereo only, was not trying to create a theater set up with this system as we have a sepperate room for that downstairs. I do however have a blueray player hooked up to this Dennon and if I choose I can use the home system while playing movies and it does sound really good even though its just stereo. Bottom line, at the cost of these speakers compared to some of the other brands that were quoted to me I am extremely impressed with the sound. Decent base even with the sub turned off, very good mid range, good highs and more than enough volume than I will probably ever use. If we ever move again I would not hesitate to replicate this system all over again. It might be my favorite feature to my new home. Great work OSD! Theater system review coming, all Polk & Dennon.

Disappointed!! Although speaker sound quality is good, the quality of the install screws and dog ear brackets (clamps) is very poor. The screws are so tight in the plastic that it causes the brackets to jump out the slots and the result is either screw head worn out (cheap screws) or in my case additionally screw head pull through and busting the plastic surround. I would advise if anyone buys these, to screw every dog ear bracket down manually (before in ceiling install) and then unscrew/release to make sure they are slick once in the install space. In my case I now have one speaker with only TWO of the four clamps working so the "flush fit" is a poor look with gaps. I rotated it so it minimizes the lack of flush but scared to even try to remove now from ceiling as one leg is busted and one screw doesn't even turn and I don't want to trash my plasterboard. :-(

I have used OSD speakers on multiple jobs. They install easily and have good build quality. As with most in-ceiling speakers you need to be careful in not over torquing the dog ear mounting screws. The sound quality is excellent for ambient music speakers.

Super clean looking speakers. Very small foot print and minimal bezel. Magnetic cover which is miles better than the old mesh tucked in to a ring. Sound is impressive for their size. I use them in a 5.1 set up for surround and music. Even a 4” for the center channel does the job fine.My recommendation is to get the adjustable Milwaukee hole saw. I used this and it cut perfect holes. It also has a dust catcher for ceiling install. You have to be careful with cutting since the bezel is tiny.Quality seems great. Not a paper cone which was important to me.Wish list would be star bit screws for tightening down on the drywall. Phillips slip sometimes. Less chance of damage to the cone. Other than that these are a winner for the $$$

I'm really mad at these because of the cheap anchors.I needed them for a very nice porch we just put in, and I'm sure they sound great, but I can't get them mounted properly in the ceiling. The anchors go crooked once you start screwing them in. I have now BROKEN 7 of the 8 screw mounts trying to get the speakers in and out, using screwdrivers to pry off the plastic pieces so I can get them back out, fix them and try again. The first problem is the anchor is loose in the sheath at the anchor end - the second is the screw is too tight in the screw-hole so it's easily stripped. These two problems force the screw to go out crooked every time and break various plastic pieces.I wasted 4+ hours on one pair these today because I really wanted them to work. I now have broken pieces everywhere and not sure I can get them working at this point. I've also got gouged ceilings around the holes, from trying to remove them without breaking them.

Highly recommended speaker for the price. I compared this to many of the speakers at the chain stores, and this speaker for the price is definitely worth it!

I drive those two in-ceiling speakers in a bedroom, with a small digital amp made by a British Columbia company, Kanto ; their Yaro amp is rated at 47 watts RMS by channel at 4 ohms. It drives the 8 ohms OSD speakers very easily. These speakers are comparable to well known brand but at a much lower price. They are sturdy, and easy to install as long as you have the proper tool to cut the holes. Spring loaded terminals are provided to attach the speaker wires in a matter of seconds. The trimless grilles are very neat. Be careful not to discard the small tool provided in the package to remove the grilles; the installation instructions should clearly mention the utility of this tool. As for the sound, for the price, it is unbeatable : very clear treble and good bass with no distortion. Just hook up the amp to an Apple Airport Express or Apple TV, and you will be able to access and control your music stored in the cloud or in your computer or a NAS with a iPod Touch, a iPhone or a iPad, from every where in your house or apartment. The Yaro amp is activated automatically each time it senses a signal, and shut up by itself if no signal ; you adjust the level of the volume directly from your iPad, iPhone or iPod.

I have installed these as 2 x Front, 2x Center, 2 x surround and 2 x back speakers in the ceiling. These speakers sound true to life. Cosmetically these are very hi tech looking so I haven't put the grill mesh on.
